This document discusses how images can convey stories and influence perceptions on their own without words. It notes that through stories, perceptions of predators have changed from terror to sympathy. Now in the age of conservation reliance, nature cannot stand on its own due to humankind's disruption, and stories shape whether nature goes from annihilation to affection. The document also includes several historical images about Theodore Roosevelt and cartoons that illustrate stories on their own or combine images with words.
